kdesu makes wt apps look ugly

[Jacob Rideout]

kdesu runs the specified program as root, and thus uses root's
settings, there has been some work to change this behavior and make
the app use the invoking users settings, but not yet. You should be
able to copy or ln -s some of your users setting to /root so that the
app wiil use your settings.
